On April 1, pitcher Ronel Blanco threw the 17th no hitter in Astros history against the Blue Jays. It was also the earliest date a no hitter has been thrown in MLB history. More history was also made as the no-hitter marked manager Joe Espada's first career managerial win, the first such occurrence in MLB history where a manager got his first win with a no-hitter.
